Pad Thai is definitely one of the favourites in our home. I have never visited Thailand, but every time I’m making this dish, I remember being amazed by an episode of ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ where he enjoyed a big bowl of authentic Pad Thai at the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market. No doubt, this is a must-eat place for me!
Until then, I’ll have to make my own. In this version, I used half rice noodles and half cabbage to include more veggies and crunch. I hope you like it!
